The Trouble Boys came inI guess they'd been out fighting and a'ravingIt wasn't long before they moved inAnd picked up the girls that we'd brought to

It closed at ten o'clock I had to move fastTo get my baby back from the Trouble Boys

Twenty-five guys from the east side of the cityKings of hell-raising in the neigborhoodOne of them walked up and started dancing with my babyWho was crying because I didn't stop him

All I could say honey was "This guy is bigger than the both of us"Trouble Boys, and the Trouble Boys all around meNo one like getting sand kicked in their faceBut I don't know anyone who'd stand face to face with the Trouble Boys

Yes the Trouble Boys

I thought to myself it was time to make a moveI breathed my last sigh and I started to groove with my babeWho was still dancing with the other guyBy the look in her eye I was a martyr'Cause no one cuts in on the Trouble Boys

Twenty-five gorillas standing all aroundI was shaking like a leaf on an Autumn treeThe leader came up and took me by the handHe shook it like a brotherHe didn't crush it after allHe said, "You're ok, you're the only one who's stood up to the Trouble Boys
